The coach presents the latest challenge in Venice: “We have to think about winning, the rest would be just a waste of energy”
CAGLIARI. Cagliari forced to win in Venice. With the hope that Salernitana does not take three points in the match at the same time with Udinese. It is the day of the final verdicts: if the rossoblu do not overtake or do not flank the Campania players they must say goodbye to A. And start again from Serie B six years after the last return to the top flight.
Mister Agostini concentrated on what depends on him and on his men: without a victory you can no longer even trust in the misfortunes of others. On the bench, the coach will not ask too many questions about the result of the Arechi: «Let’s just think about what we have to do – he said in the press conference on the eve – the rest would be just a useless waste of energy. Of course we are all aware that an important match is being played at Arechi, but being there and thinking about it too much does not help us. We have to think about playing our game and getting out what he wants in a game that we can’t go wrong. The difference in these cases is made by the head ».
A team that still believes in it: «After the defeat against Inter we were disappointed – he continued – but it’s understandable. But then a week of work began in which we trained very well ». Hopes? “We have to give our best, I first – she explained – for me Cagliari is something exceptional, in my head I only have the awareness that I have to give everything for this club”.
No anticipation on the form and the team: “We need to be ready to change – he said without being too unbalanced – even during the race”. The question remains about the three or four in defense. But it is a question linked to the choice of players that Agostini considers the most technically and temperamentally suitable for this match. For example Altare and Ceppitelli start favorites also for the possibility of exploiting their potential in the scrum in the opponent’s area. In the middle of space in Nandez. While in front it is not certain that Pavoletti will start from the beginning: the Livorno striker could start from the bench for a use in the eventual final forcing. The fans believe in it: around 650 tickets have been sold for the Penzo guest sector.
The list of players called up has been released, all skilled and enlisted, with Goldaniga and Dalbert suffering from some ailments.
